What's being said

The charges against Jim Oliver are absolutely without basis and demonstrate a gross injustice against one of the most ethical and hardworking attorneys with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have known and worked with Jim since 1987. Whoever has drummed up this case and made these accusations against this man will learn are very hard lesson in the not-to-distant future. Anyone who knows Jim understands exactly what I am talking about. This is a despicable way to treat one of Connecticut's finest attorneys. The people who have made these accusations and those who assisted them should be in jail.
